It's mostly commonly thought/observed that white tea has the least and
black tea has the most caffeine. white -> green -> oolong -> then
either black or puerh tea.

A lot of sites have a table like the one on http://www.stashtea.com/caffeine.htm
I also found this page (http://nobleharbor.com/tea/caffiene.html)
which thought these figures were all hooey. Try some lighter teas and
if they don't give a bad buzz then stick with them.
